Relaxed
Ready for the afternoon
Roll taken
Peacefully sitting
BANG!
Classroom splitting
Earth growling
Ground breaking
Rocking
Earth is Disintegrating
Computer flying
Desks smashing
Can’t get under them
Have to turtle
Door slamming
Windows splitting
Books flying
Chairs thrown
Time stops
Nobody talks
We walk out quickly
Faces in shock
Hearts pumping
Blood frozen
Wanting Mum
Hunting for friends
Teachers taking rolls
Dad arrives running, crying
Sirens screaming
Helicopter whirring
We can’t think
Silt growing by the second
Walking home
Zigzagging past flying wood and bricks
Walking through sewerage
Everything is munted
But
Christchurch will never die!
